Any current Good Standing JW, posting here?
by NotaNess ini was wondering if there are any current regular posters here that are still active , but are mentally inactive and don't believe all the bull anymore, and are just going through the motions to keep their life with friends and family together.. i realize this might be a posting that will probably get 0 replies, but.......

Yes- the ONLY reason is to keep family ties in order. However, it is getting harder to stomach a lot of what the FDS spews. I do hope to be out by year's end for reasons I cannot divulge right now.

Betterdaze-
I completely agree!! I have always hated how they look down on people living a "normal" life! These words in the Watchtower just show how ABnormal these lame writers are!!

Would U Be Offended If A Lesbian Couple Showed Affection in A Public Place
by minimus inin missouri at a ihop, a lesbian kissed another female (her gf) on the cheek, once while sitting in the restaurant.
the manager went over to the ladies and told them they were not welcomed there and therefore had to leave.
the women described the kiss on the cheek as a similar type of kiss to an "uncle".

I find myself referencing the Sermon on the Mount more and more as I disassociate myself mentally from the "FDS". Matt 7:1,2 "Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged..."ASV How much better off the world would be if everyone lived by these words! Not only peace of mind each one for him/herself but peace in general. Ghandi was correct.

Doubting Bro:
Excellent summary of very probable scenarios over the next few years.
As for your #4 point about FDS=GB, I think most of the rank and file already have been conditioned to believe this. How many times don't the elders and C.O.s say in their talks..'the faithful slave tells us...blah, blah, blah?' In essence they mean the Teaching Committee of the GB.
I am so disgusted with this latest revelation. How they can just slip into a QFR article such a major doctrinal change without admitting they were WRONG all along is so indicative of their utter unethical arrogance!
I am sooooo "outa here"!

Red China and organ harvesting horror
by Dogpatch inhttp://www.askjeevesuk.net/china.htm.
in 1992 a peaceful meditation exercise called falun gong also known as falun dafa was introduced to the public in china by master li hongzhi.
it has grown to become the most popular form of qigong.

This is utterly appalling!! How can the Olympic Committee be comfortable allowing a country which sqelches individualism with such horror to host??? The Olympics celebrate diversity, peace and unity like no other global event. IMO any country deemed appropiate for the privelege of hosting should do the same. I personally will NOT watch the opening or closing ceremonies in protest!

Our circuit overseer back in 1989 made a statement to us in our "pioneer meeting" that if you took 10 children in the congregation and put them on the stage, 8 would leave the "truth" by the time they reached adulthood. Evidently this 80% figure has been around for almost 20 years!
